I couldn't sleep. I stared out the window all night and not until the sun had risen high in the sky did I get up. I change quickly. My hair free to mingle with my face. I wasn't sure if I was ready for any more news but I needed to know. I needed to know everything. I had thought about what Saskue had said last night, about the incident, about his brother killing everyone. That meant his brother had killed my parents too and that left darkness in my heart.

I didn't bother using the front door. I leapt up to the roof and started to run toward the Hokage's building. I wasn't even sure what the heck I was going to say let alone how I was going to pressure him if he didn't want to spill the beans. My head was pounding again. I wasn't entirely sure if it was because of yesterday or because of stress. Maybe both.

I had stopped, locking eyes with Sasuke. He had told me he would come with me. I was still surprised he was here. "Ready?" He asked and I nodded. That was a lie but there was no better time than the present. Passing two guards with white animal shaped masks Sasuke had said they were called ANBU. He didn't go into much detail. It seemed he was back to being his old quiet cold self. The sense of eagerness of the unknown was something he couldn't mask from me.

I knocked on the door and heard a light come in. I hesitated but only for a moment before I pushed them open and stepped inside. Sasuke closing them behind us. I bowed at the Hokage and he eyed the two of us before putting down the paper he was reading. He wouldn't be able to multitask with the questions we were about to ask him.

"Suiren and Sasuke Uchiha. How can I help you?" My voice was caught in my throat and I half hoped that the idiot would ask for me but he was silent. I opened my mouth and closed it again. I felt stupid like a gold fish. "Well I just wanted to ask… I mean I was thinking about everything and I –" I snapped my mouth closed and pinched the bridge of my nose pushing a sigh through my lips. "I'm an Uchiha aren't I?"

The room became full of tension. Heart starting to race, had there been more people in the room I might have started having a panic attack. "Well that didn't take you long now did it?" His eyes were warm and his smiled reminded me of my uncle. It fiddled with my heart in a way that caused me to catch my breath. "Why didn't you say something before?" My cheeks were red, an Uchiha. "It was your parent's wishes that you discover the truth on your own when you were ready. I guess putting you on a team with your clan member wasn't a bad thing either." He took a puff of his pip. My hand resting on my hip.

"So can you tell me anything else?" I didn't even know what to ask at this point. I thought it was going to be so much harder to get anything out of him let alone the confirmation we were looking for. "Your parents along with myself, Minori and Shisui Uchiha were the only ones who knew about the plan to hide you. There had always been turmoil between the Uchiha and Senju clan for centuries, even before the creation of the village hidden in the leaves. This village created as packed between the two rivaling clans but they always segregated themselves from one another even with in the walls of this village." Taking a small paused I could see him thinking of the right words to explain to me everything that had happened. I knew he wasn't going to tell me everything but I would find out one way or another.

"Things had started becoming – unstable. We had felt a disturbance in the peace that the village had strived for since its creation. Shisui was the first to sense it and he entrusted me with his idea of saving the clan, saving the bloodline. Your father being close friend with Shisui shared in his fear and his want to preserve everything the clan stood for in its days of glory. To show his loyalty your father gave up his first born daughter. They sent you to live with Minori. After a few years they wanted to retrieve you, it seemed that enough time had passed, that it was safe to bring you home." He was quiet to quiet. I found myself hanging on every word he said. It became a weight on my shoulder. The more he spoke the heavier it became. "You were ten when it happened. I'm sure Sasuke has told you already. I believed fate would bring you back home when the time was right."

My face was wet. I wasn't crying but tears were staining my cheeks. I knew more now but nothing at the same time. So it was sort of a fluke. They hid me for something big but it wasn't in their wildest dreams that Sasuke's older brother would slay every last member, leaving only Sasuke with the grief and guilt of being alone. I was starting to get angry at the thought. "Here." I looked up taking my gaze off the floor, He held a photo in his hand and I crossed the space between us and grabbed it. My heart thumped. "I was saving this for you." I knew it was my parents. This was the first time I was actually seeing them but I knew it was them. I had the same eyes as my mother and my hand found its way to my chest. My nose and lips eerily like my fathers. What hurt even more was five year old boy and girl who grabbed at their legs. Twins from the looks of it. My father sternly looking back at me a small curve on the left side of his face, his hand rest on the little girls head. The same symbol from Sasuke's back on a flag behind them.

A lump in my throat, my hand shaking. My family, my mother and father, my brother and sister. The idea pulled at my brain and I felt my heart fall into my stomach. "How did you know I'd come back?" My voice barely above a whisper. "The ache of home lives in all of us." My hand shook as I shoved the picture in my pouch. My arms wrapping around myself trying to keep together.

"Suiren!?" I looked up at the silver haired ninja and shook my head. "Do you want to learn a new justu or not?" Running my fingers through my hair I apologized. I could see Sasuke eyeing me from across the field. He was trying to learn some new justu; it looked like he was trying to release waves of lightning across the floor. He was having a hard time spreading father then 2 feet before it ended. If he could get that right it would prove affective paired with one of my water justus. I shook my head and put my attention of Kakashi. He was trying to teach me a new justu and I Was being the dumb student who couldn't seem to learn a thing.

"I need you to concentrate or you're never going to be able to use this Justu to your advantage. Being able to use fire and water is a blessing." I sighed and nodded my head bringing my hands together in a new series of hand signed, "Water style Black Rain Justu!" I focused a large dose of chakra toward the bush in front of me. A small black cloud, probably too small to even be considered a cloud, appeared. A pathetic amount of small onyx droplets fell as the cloud move toward the bush. Before it reached its destination it disappeared. Damn it. I rubbed my face. I was too distracted for this. I think Kakashi could tell.

The four of us stood in front of our sensei. Naruto dirty, hair tussled from some wind Justu he was learning. Sakura's hands were scratched up. She was learning to use her chakra control to help her hit harder then she had before. The tree she smashed up didn't have a chance.

I was just staring into nothingness. I wasn't sure how I felt but it wasn't great. My head hurt and my body was numb. I flinched when Kakashi-sensei snapped his fingers in front of me. "Sorry what?" He eyed me a bit trying to hide his concern, "I said spar with Naruto." I nodded and stepped in front of him. "Are you okay Suiren? You look … upset." I nodded and took a fighting stance and he did the same. I stepped back when he tried to punch me. Kick, block, punch, block, punch. Damn it. I stumbled back and wiped my face. I saw a bit of confusion in Naruto's eyes. "Water Style Raging waves." I knew he would jump up to dodge it but I wasn't trying to hit him. Taking a step forward I made those hand signs I knew too well. "Fire style Fire ball justu!" I pumped a little force to push the fire ball into the water causing a wave of boiling steam.

I hissed a bit when I heard the pops. Shadow clones. How dumb I can't believe I missed it. My breath caught into my throat when I heard the clang of two kunai behind me. One cancelling the one that aimed to just scratch my side. "What the hell baka!?" I groaned at the sound of the blonde's voice and locking with a pair of onyx eyes. Why was he butting in now? I rushed over to Naruto to try and bring him back to our spar, Punch, dodge. Kick, dodge. I was slow. He was keeping up with me with ease. I bent down and swiped his legs and he jumped. I kicked him in his chest to hear a small pop and a stump in his place. He was getting better.

I spun around and blocked a kick, back hand springing and catching myself 5 feet from him. We were both panting pretty hard. My heart just wasn't in this training. I couldn't keep my head from running wild. What was the point of everything? What was I doing? I don't know anything about being an Uchiha. How was I supposed to uphold my family's legacy when I knew nothing about them and did I even have a right to morn their death?

I winced when his foot made clear contact with my chest. The ground was hard against my back all I could do was look up at the blue sky and white clouds above me. I kind of wished I could just melt into one and soar away.

"Are you alright?" I shut my eyes when I caught sight of his silver hair. Pushing myself up I looked around at my teammates. "Will you just tell us already? We know something is wrong." I glanced at the pinked hair girl as she bent down, her hand glowing green but I pushed it away before she could touch me. She looked more confused than hurt by my actions and I caught Naruto clenching his fist slightly. I guess they needed to know. They were my team after all and after everything we had been through they had a right to know.

Grabbing the photo I tossed in on the floor in front of them. Sasuke eyed me but said nothing. Sakura grabbed the photo, Naruto looking over her shoulder. "Who's this?" I chewed my bottom lip when he asked and a broken sigh passed through my lips. "That's my family." I whispered. Kakashi-sensei said nothing. I wasn't sure if he already knew or not. He just observed. I wondered if the Hokage had told him before hand and that's what I was placed in his care. He after all had a Sharingan of his own. "That crest" Sakura was so much smarter than us when she wanted to be. She able to pick up on subtly things of importance the untrained eye might over look.

"Uchiha." I pulled my knees to my chest and covered my head with my arms. The boys whisper pulled me over the edge as I inherited his agony. I think he has been waiting for me to break all day since we had gone to see the Hokage. It made sense why he watched me so intently. Like at any moment I would collapse under the weight of my sorrows.

I felt two arms wrap around my body. The smell of cherry blossom and vanilla did little to comfort me but the embrace held me together. The pink haired girl understood to an extent what this meant. "I don't understand." Naruto whispered and I could hear Kakashi shift from behind me. My body trembled and before I knew it my sob softly echoed through the field. "She and Sasuke are all that is left of the great Uchiha Clan." His voice bitter for a moment my tears hitting her dress hard. I felt a hand grab mine and a forehead on my right shoulder. He smelt of ramen and sunshine. It wasn't long till I felt pressure on my back leaning against me. Head banging mind softly, the collision I wish could share some memories of his past, something to let him know he wasn't alone. I might not have been there that night but I lost everything.

The picture burned into my memory. Their smiling faces taunting me and for a moment I thought I could smell blood. My brain thumped against my skull and when I opened my eyes I saw black spots but they were gone as soon as they arrived. I looked at the two with confusion. "Suiren, your eyes." I wiped my tears, glancing at Naruto before my chin was cupped and pulled to the left.

Black pearls stared intently at me and I realized I saw their chakra. My back straightened and I looked between Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto and Kakashi- sensei. The wisps of color circling each of them and I couldn't help but reach out to try and touch it. Sakura quickly untied her head protected and faced it toward me so that I could see my eyes.

My mother's eyes were gone, replaced by blood red and black. One with two markings and the other with one. I blinked quickly, afraid they would disappear.

This was my family's legacy; this is what they had left behind for me.

I only own my OC

Obviously parts of the Uchiha incident are left a mystery

More will be reviled with time
